Posted — UpdatedOn Wednesday, the public could get a big update on the future of COVID-19 booster shots.
The two federal agencies that will influence the decision, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are both expected to weigh in.
The main discussion at 10 a.m. will include a recommendation from the CDC regarding whether or not Americans should receive a booster shot. The FDA is also expected to vote on the booster.
The guidance in recent weeks has been mixed, leading some hospitals and health systems in our area to stop giving boosters to everyone until there’s more guidance from the CDC. Currently, the booster is only recommended for people who are immunocompromised.
